Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from History of Darke County, Ohio, Vol. 1 of 2: From Its Earliest Settlement to the Present Time A comprehensive country history must, of be a compilation of materials gleaned form various sources and assemble in the form of a literary mosaic, the design of which is symmetrical - but not always apparent. The first and only exhaustive history of the county heretofore written was published by W. H. Beers Co., in 1880, from material compiled and arranged largely by Judge John Wharry of Greenville and by one Prof. W. H. Mclntosh. This volume contained about 250 octavo pages of closely printed matter relating to the history of the county, besides about 200 pages of general introductory material and about 300 pages of biographical sketches. On account of its priority and the mass of historical data which it contains, this book must form the basis of any authentic history hereafter written. Perhaps the most apparent fault in this excellent first history is the lack of an adequate index and the irregular arrangement of topics - a condition which the writer has endeavored to overcome in a measure in this work. A second work entitled "A Pictorial Outline History of Darke County," was published by Geo. W. Wolfe in 1890. This work was largely biographical but contained some excellent introductory matter and a few good topical sketches. An excellent Biographical History was published in 1900 by the Lewis Publishing Company of Chicago, which contained many well-written biographical sketches, but not much purely historical data. To all of these works the compiler of the present volume freely acknowledges his indebtedness for original material, realizing that without them the task of writing an authentic pioneer history would be practically impossible. Further acknowledgment is made to Attorney Geo. A. Katzenberger, who compiled and wrote the excellent chapters on "Miltia Organizations," and "Bench and Bar;" and to Geo.
